Free Kansas City SVG Files

The large city of the Midwest, located on the border of Missouri and Kansas, is a hospitable and attractive Kansas City SVG, famous for its delicious barbecue and jazz. Kansas City is a beautiful city, with more boulevards than in Paris and more fountains than in any other city in the world (except Rome). In addition, Kansas City is unique in that it shares the border between the two states in half.

Kansas City SVG, like the state of Kansas, got its name after the Kansas River. The name of the river was first mentioned by French cartographers (Grande Riviere des Cansez) back in the early 18th century. In turn, the word “Kansas” in the language of the Sioux Indians means “south wind” or “people of the south wind”. Originally the city was called the City of Kansas. The status of the city was given in 1853, when the total number of inhabitants exceeded 2500 people. The construction of the Hannibal Bridge across Missouri in 1869 contributed to the development of the railway network and led to rapid population growth. In 1889, when the name of the city was changed to modern, the population of Kansas City had already reached 130 thousand people.

Today, the region has a diversified economy. The main sectors are: professional and business services, trade, finance, manufacturing, construction, transport, information, education, medicine. In 2010, the total gross product of the Kansas City metropolitan area was $101 billion. The main employer in the region is the federal government.
